Remembering the Covenant with David, and Sorrow for Lost Blessings
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 89
|
|
1. I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;
|
|
With my mouth will I make known Your faithfulness to all generations.
|
|
|
|
2. For I have said, "Mercy shall be built up forever;
|
|
Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens."
|
|
|
|
3. "I have made a covenant with My chosen,
|
|
I have sworn to My servant David:
|
|
|
|
4. 'Your seed I will establish forever,
|
|
And build up your throne to all generations.' " Selah
|
|
|
|
5. And the heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
|
|
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the saints.
|
|
|
|
6. For who in the heavens can be compared to the Lord?
|
|
Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened to the Lord?
|
|
|
|
7. God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints,
|
|
And to be held in reverence by all those around Him.
|
|
|
|
8. O Lord God of hosts,
|
|
Who is mighty like You, O Lord?
|
|
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.
|
|
|
|
9. You rule the raging of the sea;
|
|
When its waves rise, You still them.
|
|
|
|
10. You have broken Rahab in pieces, as one who is slain;
|
|
You have scattered Your enemies with Your mighty arm.
|
|
|
|
11. The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
|
|
The world and all its fullness, You have founded them.
|
|
|
|
12. The north and the south, You have created them;
|
|
Tabor and Hermon rejoice in Your name.
|
|
|
|
13. You have a mighty arm;
|
|
Strong is Your hand, and high is Your right hand.
|
|
|
|
14. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne;
|
|
Mercy and truth go before Your face.
|
|
|
|
15. Blessed are the people who know the joyful sound!
|
|
They walk, O Lord, in the light of Your countenance.
|
|
|
|
16. In Your name they rejoice all day long,
|
|
And in Your righteousness they are exalted.
|
|
|
|
17. For You are the glory of their strength,
|
|
And in Your favor our horn is exalted.
|
|
|
|
18. For our shield belongs to the Lord,
|
|
And our king to the Holy One of Israel.
|
|
|
|
19. Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one,
|
|
And said: "I have given help to one who is mighty;
|
|
I have exalted one chosen from the people.
|
|
|
|
20. I have found My servant David;
|
|
With My holy oil I have anointed him,
|
|
|
|
21. With whom My hand shall be established;
|
|
Also My arm shall strengthen him.
|
|
|
|
22. The enemy shall not outwit him,
|
|
Nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
|
|
|
|
23. I will beat down his foes before his face,
|
|
And plague those who hate him.
|
|
|
|
24. "But My faithfulness and My mercy shall be with him,
|
|
And in My name his horn shall be exalted.
|
|
|
|
25. Also I will set his hand over the sea,
|
|
And his right hand over the rivers.
|
|
|
|
26. He shall cry to Me, 'You are my Father,
|
|
My God, and the rock of my salvation.'
|
|
|
|
27. Also I will make him My firstborn,
|
|
The highest of the kings of the earth.
|
|
|
|
28. My mercy I will keep for him forever,
|
|
And My covenant shall stand firm with him.
|
|
|
|
29. His seed also I will make to endure forever,
|
|
And his throne as the days of heaven.
|
|
|
|
30. "If his sons forsake My law
|
|
And do not walk in My judgments,
|
|
|
|
31. If they break My statutes
|
|
And do not keep My commandments,
|
|
|
|
32. Then I will punish their transgression with the rod,
|
|
And their iniquity with stripes.
|
|
|
|
33. Nevertheless My lovingkindness I will not utterly take from him,
|
|
Nor allow My faithfulness to fail.
|
|
|
|
34. My covenant I will not break,
|
|
Nor alter the word that has gone out of My lips.
|
|
|
|
35. Once I have sworn by My holiness;
|
|
I will not lie to David:
|
|
|
|
36. His seed shall endure forever,
|
|
And his throne as the sun before Me;
|
|
|
|
37. It shall be established forever like the moon,
|
|
Even like the faithful witness in the sky." Selah
|
|
|
|
38. But You have cast off and abhorred,
|
|
You have been furious with Your anointed.
|
|
|
|
39. You have renounced the covenant of Your servant;
|
|
You have profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
|
|
|
|
40. You have broken down all his hedges;
|
|
You have brought his strongholds to ruin.
|
|
|
|
41. All who pass by the way plunder him;
|
|
He is a reproach to his neighbors.
|
|
|
|
42. You have exalted the right hand of his adversaries;
|
|
You have made all his enemies rejoice.
|
|
|
|
43. You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
|
|
And have not sustained him in the battle.
|
|
|
|
44. You have made his glory cease,
|
|
And cast his throne down to the ground.
|
|
|
|
45. The days of his youth You have shortened;
|
|
You have covered him with shame. Selah
|
|
|
|
46. How long, Lord?
|
|
Will You hide Yourself forever?
|
|
Will Your wrath burn like fire?
|
|
|
|
47. Remember how short my time is;
|
|
For what futility have You created all the children of men?
|
|
|
|
48. What man can live and not see death?
|
|
Can he deliver his life from the power of the grave? Selah
|
|
|
|
49. Lord, where are Your former lovingkindnesses,
|
|
Which You swore to David in Your truth?
|
|
|
|
50. Remember, Lord, the reproach of Your servants--
|
|
How I bear in my bosom the reproach of all the many peoples,
|
|
|
|
51. With which Your enemies have reproached, O Lord,
|
|
With which they have reproached the footsteps of Your anointed.
|
|
|
|
52. Blessed be the Lord forevermore!
|
|
Amen and Amen.
